It’s tough picking one.
But that’s why I’m asking. It’s easy to do a top 3, even easier to a top 5.
But when you have to choose a singular show? When you’re forced to pare it down? What sticks above the others for you?
Babylon 5 for me.
It’s got plenty of issues but it’s still my darling and despite all the behind-the-scenes BS it’s still the best long-form sci-fi story I’ve seen onscreen.
Edit: Screwed up the title. Bad Dalacos.


Hands down, it’s first by a mile. It’s in a field of it’s own. I also doubt I’ll ever watch something as good again. Though I will say, the first season is the worst of all the seasons, and one might not understand what they are missing if they stop there.
